| The Bible is not inerrant. It is full of errors, mistakes and contradictions. |
| Influential writers have made a game of documenting these inconsistencies for centuries. Our favorite is "The Age Of Reason" by Thomas Payne, an 18th century American writer whose pamphlets (though not this particular writing) were read to the American Revolutionary army by Gen. Washington. This is a rather long work, so if you're pressed for time, we suggest you start reading with Part Two.
Feel free to recommend your favorite analysis of the Bible below. There is lots out there to choose from. Leviticus ... Chapter 11, verse 10 tells us that eating shellfish is also an abomination. And, in 11:6-8, so is touching anything made of pigskin––someone call the NFL! Leviticus 19, says that planting two different crops in the same field is forbidden by God––yet George W's department of agriculture openly promotes this abomination, calling it "companion-planting." Let's hope USDA at least insists that those seeds be heterosexual. Speaking of Bush, he's known to have a hot temper and to burst out occasionally with curse words. Does he know that Leviticus 24:10-16 commands that if a person blasphemes God with curse words, the whole town must come together and stone that person. Wouldn't that put the Secret Service in a Biblical bind? Source: "THE WRATH OF LEVITICUS by Jim Hightower - 6/20/2005 |

| Not to mention that what we read in the Bible today could very easily have been translated quite incorrectly and that ancient religious leaders "edited" out parts that didn't agree with them. | Linda Denton |
